it's not just russia's decision to provide temporary asylum to the nsa leaker, edward snowden, or even russia's high-profile arrest recently of a u.s. diplomat who they have accused of being a cia spy and who they perp walked to a great effect. it's not even just russia's decision to ban american couples from adopting russian children. it's also russia's recent spate of anti-gay legislation which has drawn lots of criticism from the west, and some calls that the world should boycott the upcoming winter olympics that are due to be held in russia next year. >> i know that one question that's been raised is how do we approach the olympics? i want to just make very clear right now i do not think it's appropriate to boycott the olympics. we've got a bunch of americans out there who are training hard, who are doing everything they can to succeed. nobody's more offended than me by some of the anti-gay and lesbian legislation you've been seeing in russia, but as i said just this week, i've spoken out against that not just with respect to russia, but a number of other countries where we continu

all of these developments is the fate of this young man, edward snowden, leaker of details of secret nsa surveillance programs stuck in limbo at the moscow airport for more than a month, before he was granted temporary asylum in russia. between us and russia, things are not awesome right now. things have not been awesome for i don't know -- things have not been awesome since 1947 basically. but they're bad enough now on trivial levels and on deeply serious levels, that the white house today essentially said, let's call the whole thing off. the white house today announcing that president obama has cancelled a scheduled one on one meeting between him and vladimir putin next month, during the g-20 summit in russia. given our lack of progress on issues, such as missile defense, arms control. global security issues and human rights and civil society in the last 12 months. we have informed the russian government we believe it would be more constructive to postpone the summit until we have more results from our shared agenda. russia's disappointing decision was also a factor that we considered
